Did Prince Bladd deserve what he got?

[Ungatt Trunn]

No they were good, but the killed every vermin they set eyes on.

Don't vermin do the same?

Thats my point! Oh forget it.

Now I understand what to say. But if there's one thing to say about The Rogue Crew's killings, there's one saying that I quote:
     Wisdom isn't knowing when to take a life, but when not to take one.

[Romsca]

That's a neat quote. Where's it from again? Lord of the Rings?

[Jetthebinturong]

The Hobbit and it's wrong, it's when to spare one and not when to not take one also it's not wisdom, it's courage so the proper quote is "True courage is not knowing when to take a life but when to spare one"

[Vilu Daskar]

Sort of

[Ungatt Trunn]

The awnser is simple: He wasn't really evil in mind, but he was on the bad side, and he was sure to have bullied the slaves at Riftguard, so the awnser would be "Sort of".

[Romsca]

I still don't think he should have gotten as painful a death as he did

[The Shade]

Sorta

[Leatho Shellhound]

Same here, I mean they (Redwallers) most likely would have spared his life had they known him.

[Lutra]

I doubt Redwallers would have taken in Prince Bladd given the chance.  They didn't exactly have the best times with creatures like Chickenhound, Vitch, or Veil in their midst.

No, but that doesn't mean that they would kill him.

[Lutra]

Certain creatures within Redwall wouldn't think twice about killing some of these vermin.  The otters and badgers aren't so keen on letting vermin live.

[Shadowed One]

I think he deserved it, but if he hadn't been trying to burn the gates, he would have probably been spared.

[clunylooney]

He was born into being above slaves, but he still did treat slaves badly (and had slaves). He also was trying to burn down redwall's gates.

As for goodbeasts killing vermin, I feel like saying that when goodbeats kill vermin, they are one step closer to vermin themselves isn't accurate. The whole point of vermin is that they are evil. So when a goodbeast kills a vermin it doesn't make them nearly as bad as vermin, in fact, it makes them good that they killed a vermin.

I can see why people with forgiving natures could see it as being bad, but this is a different world, they don't abide by the same rules as us. So while I understand where you are coming from, it doesn't make the goodbeasts any worse in this world.

The only time this annoys me is when they have a vermin prisoner and they tell them they can go, and then kill them. Like with Ribrow in Taggerung and that rat from Salamandastron. If you are going to kill a vermin who is prisoner, do it like in The Sable Quean with Gripchun.
